Checking Raggage.

The system of checking baggage
from residences is thoroughly in
vogue in all Eastern cities. 1t was in
troduced by the railroads in Denver, a
short time ago, and received a most
cordial welcome. 1t saves passengers
a great deal of trouble and anxiety,
and is not much trouble or expense to
the railroads. 1t is the opinion of the
visitors that the railroads of Los An
geles should not be behind the rail
roads of Denver, and that they should
at once institute that custom here.

This trouble arises from the fact that
the Salt Lake and Los Angeles road

PLEASANT PRESENTATION.
Ex-SuperintendentR Rankin OF the Gas
Works X Kindly IL me III he rcd

Ex.SuperintendentR Rankin or the Gas
Works Kindly Remembered.
At $3.50 last evening MIR. James A. Ran.
kin, late superintendent Of the gas works,
was presented by the employees, through
their foreman, Mr.. Quinn, with mas
sve gold chain, attached to which was
the statement that the presentation was
made for the esteem in which he was
held by tine donors, because of the many
kindnesses they had received at his hands,
In response, Mr.. Rankin made a short
but felicitous speech, stating that any
success he had attained during his super>
intendency of about 4 year was largely
due to the cooperation of the many en-
ployes The treasurer and acting super
intendent, Mr.. Isaac Batten, spoke to the
effect that he was grateful on his part
for the manner in which the
retiring superintendent had smoothed
the way for his (Mr. Batten's) successor.
There were perhaps seventy-five or eighty
of the employees present, all of whom had
contributed to the presentation gift.
Mr.. Rankin leaves for the west on
Monday, to- be gone maybe a year or
more, and whether he will engage in
business there or not he has not yet
decided. However, it may be said in n
subdued tone, that MIR. Rankin is to be
married in this city to-day, perhaps at
Trinity church, so that his exile for a
year or so may be considered as anything
but one OF desolate character.

WHO IS MRS. JACKMAN?
General Dennis Says She Is Not a
Enplish


OMAHA, Sept. 24.-To the Editor of the
BEE: The following appeared in your
paper of this morning regarding Mrs.
Jackman, and is such willful misrepre-
sentation of facts on the part of Mrs.
Doolittle that self respect compels me to
ask you to make correction:
Mr.. and Mrs. William DOOllttle, of S12
North Eighteenth street, lived in New Haven,
Conn.,, some thirty-two years ago. and knew
girl OF fourteen. Her father, Governor Eng
lish, was then the chief executive of the
state and was in the hey-day of his popular
ity and power. Her mother was klepto-
maniac, but Governor English being very
strange propensity. Thus Mrs. jackman has
inherited from her mother this infirmity akin
to curse, that has been slowly developing
through the stages of misfortune starvation
and insanity.
After the death of his first wife Governor
English married again, and he dying in q
few years, left oil Of his property to his
second wife. She still lives In the old Eng
New Haven, but has refused to help the nn.
fortunate Mrs. Jackman since the loss OF her
husband. and it is thought that she had a
great deal to do with prejndicing Governor
Mrs. DIR. CIscaden telegraphed to Mrs. Eng
lsh at New Haven, apprising her Of the
unfortunate condition OF her step-daughter.
know of what speak as 1 married
into the English family of New Haven,
Connecticut, my. wife being an only
daughter of N. S. English of New Haven.
The English family is one of the Oldest
Englishs' grandfather, an Id man,
was killed by the Hessians while
standing in his own door at New Haven
during the revolutionary war, and it has
always been one of the most honorable
families in the state, and no such stain as
that charged by Mr.. and Mrs. Doolittle
ever rested upon them.
Mrs. Governor English was one Of the
most estimable ladies to be found IN the
whole state. She was for q number of
years before her death an invalid and
confined most of her time to her home.
knew her we'll, and my wife was great
favorite with her, and was with her a
great deal of the time before she left New
Haven.
Governor and Mrs. English never had
but two children. Augusta, their only
daughter. died in 1857 at the age of four
teen years. Henry, their only son, is still
living in New Haven. Mrs. English died
in 1874, and Governor English married
two years ago most estimable lady OF
Brooklyn, N. Y, and they are now living
at his residence on Chapel street, New
Haven,
There seems to be but little truth in
the Doolittle statements, and one of them
is regarding the governors great wealth.
He is Just rs good and benevolent as he
is wealthy aud always ready to assist
literally the worthy Door of Gods peo-
pie. think the Doolittle statement will
English. Very respectfully,
JOHN Ii, DENNIS

c. Kinsley, who was arrested for steal
ing valise from S. A. Conley last Sun
day, had hearing before Judge Berka
yesterday afternoon. There being some
doubt as to whether the grip and contents
were worth sufficient to convict him on
the charge of grand larceny it was de-
clded to dismiss that charge and re-
arrest him for petty larceny. He will be
tried again on Tuesday at 2p. m.
Joe Waring, charged with stealing
pillows, butter, molasses, ct cetera, was
given thirty days. C. Pickard, the vag

$3.50, was ordered to leave the city.

In Tenth street saloon, were each gwen

The familiar face of Belle Smith was
seen in the police court again yesterday
to answer the charge of being drunk and
throwing kisses to gentlemen on the
street. Considering the frequency of her
arrests recently. it was determined to
forestall another arrest in the near future
by keeping her III custody for few days.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Aug. a, 1SS7,-Mr. r.
b. Forgy-Dear Sir: Your favor of July
81 is at hand. While guest of Mr..
Jones refrained from asking questions,
as he is very retiring in his manner, and
that left it so that he could talk on the
subject to me without arousing that Yam
kee inquisitiveness of nine. He showed
me pieces Of the rock, and warmed it,
when the oil came to the surface freely,
and one evening when a new agent was
there, he took shallow tin box and put
in some crude oil, and we went into a
darkened room and he stirred it rapidly,
when bright lights were emitted, pointed
lights darting up. Then we magnetized
needles, and they were powerfully mag
netized. When Mr.. Jones tells me any.
thing accept it rs the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth. lie
showed me very large tin cans of the
crude oil very dark colored. The cures
are wonderful, as arranged his immense
correspondence, and know the senti-
ments OF the people in every state in the
Union. Yours truly,
MARY f. BARNES,
